Stiftskirche Nonnberg, Gothic church at Festungsberg hill, Salzburg, Austria
The Stiftskirche Nonnberg features a late Gothic winged altar with a central Mary statue and detailed architectural ornamentation throughout its structure.
Founded between 711 and 715 by Saint Rupert of Salzburg, the church underwent major reconstructions after fires in 1006 and 1423, leading to its current Gothic form.
The Benedictine nuns of Nonnberg maintain a centuries-old tradition of singing Gregorian chants each morning at 6:45 and during evening vespers.
Visitors can access the church through Kaigasse via Nonnbergstiege staircase or from Nonntal through a narrow lane between 6:45 AM and 6:00 PM daily.
The church crypt contains free-standing columns, a reticulated vault, and houses the tomb of Saint Erentrudis, the first abbess of Nonnberg Abbey.
